Three Second Rule
Share
Sam's approach for overcoming hesitation when meeting new people.
- Three second window - when you see someone you're attracted to, you have three seconds to approach
- Must take action immediately - prevents overthinking and talking yourself out of it
- Opening line - 'I was staring at you and I just wanted to let you know'
- Follow with authenticity - then say the first thing that comes to your mind
- Prevents self-sabotage - eliminates the mental spiral that kills confidence
